Opening an account in France from abroad quickly runs into proof-of-address rules, translations and banks that are wary of non-residents. Your dedicated concierge prepares your file, identifies the banks that genuinely accept non-residents, books the appointment and supports you until you obtain your IBAN and bank details. A coordination service, outside regulated financial advice, billed by time spent.
